Former2 scans your existing AWS account resources and generates Infrastructure-as-Code outputs such as CloudFormation, Terraform, Troposphere, CDK, CDKTF, and Pulumi templates, plus architecture diagrams. It is available as a web app, a browser-extension-assisted tool, and a limited CLI.

Use cases

• generate terraform from existing aws resources
• convert my aws account into cloudformation templates
• import existing aws infrastructure into iac
• reverse engineer cloudformation template from running resources
• generate pulumi or cdk code from aws account
• create architecture diagram of my aws infrastructure
• adopt infrastructure as code for legacy aws resources

When to choose

• you have existing AWS resources with no IaC and want to bootstrap templates
• you need to migrate resources into CloudFormation stacks via import
• you want multi-format output (Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, Troposphere) from one scan
• you want a quick architecture diagram of your AWS setup

When to avoid

• you use a cloud other than AWS (it is AWS-only)
• you need full resource coverage - Terraform output covers only ~49% of resources
• you cannot grant IAM credentials to a browser tool due to security policy
• you want a fully automated CI pipeline tool rather than an interactive scanner
